Motor Pool Policy

Background

We provide a vehicle leasing service to all authorized Davidson College staff, faculty and students for use related to any Davidson College business.

Purpose

The policy seeks to inform the campus community of the requirements for use of a motor pool vehicle.

The rental fleet is primarily comprised of a variety of vehicles and golf carts. Vehicles are maintained for cleanliness and mechanical reliability, by a full-time motor pool staffer. Use of motor pool vehicles is covered under the college's insurance policy. Use of personal vehicles for college business is not covered by the college's insurance policy.

Every attempt is made to accommodate all vehicle requests, and rental vehicles are made to supplement if necessary.
